NBA Playoff Pick ‘Em for Packs!

[Rizzo]

I’m on vacation but wanted to get this out there ASAP to make sure everyone had a chance to get picks in.

Notes:
- We will run a playoff pick ‘em pool with the top-3 winners receiving prizes in the form of packs.
- You need to pick the winner of each series and how many games it takes to win it.

Scoring

Points for correct picks by round:
- 1st Round: 9 points
- 2nd: 11 points
- 3rd: 13 points
- Title: 15 points

For each amount of games you are off on your prediction, you lose a point. If you pick the wrong team, you lose two points, and each game you’re off by you lose two points.

Example: First round you pick Milwaukee to win in 4 but they win in 5. You get 9 points for picking correctly but lose a point for being off by a game so earn 8 points.

If you pick Portland to win in the first round in 7 but the Lakers win in 5, you lose a total of 6 points because you chose wrong and your prediction was off by 2 games.

My apologies for not keeping up with this. I think the 2nd round would have been amazing to see how our predictions went. With missing out on both the 2nd and 3rd round, I'm going to close this up but award coins as following:

- teams start with 750 coins
- you lose 25 coins for each number of games too high or too low you were on your prediction

Here are the results!

Dennis - 475 coins
emplep7 - 500 coins
